Stash Enhancement Silver WPI gauge giveaway!

I very much love the idea of functional art. I can really get into the beauty of tools and the art of the everyday. This is what I love about this wpi gauge that Jessie of Stashenhancement has made.

This wpi tool was crafted from a solid silver half dollar coin (1944) and strung on a handspun bombyx silk cord. Would you be the envy of everyone at spin night with this? Yes! Is this pretty enough to wear all the time, even when you're not spinning? Yes!

Take a little time today and visit StashEnhancement's shop, find something you love, and come back and write about it here. We'll be drawing for a name very soon, so don't forget to use twitter or facebook to help spread the word and gain extra entries!

Oh wow! I so want this, it's beautiful! I've just had a look at the shop and if I ever manage to save enough money, I'll go for the diz/WPI pendant http://www.etsy.com/listing/47970240/diz-wpi-dollar-pendant-silver-plying

That wpi is by far my fave in the shop, but I am sure I would enjoy the Emerald Sea sock yarn as well. ;) And I do very much like the silver dollar diz, but as I still haven't found much use for them myself, I can't say it's my favorite.

Have to say - the giveaway is one of my favorite things in her shop! I LOVE old coins, and little things of beauty for everyday use. :) Also love the rich jewel tones in all the luxury yarns, they all look so sumptuous.

Really beautiful stuff. I love the pet vicuna in a tin, luxury yarn and I'd love to try spinning it. Also a fav is the gorgeous jewellery but the Diz WIP Dollar Pendant just wins because of its functionality and beauty.

from Khat (Ravelry)...I have drooled at a bunch of those silver fiber tools, but being a green fiend I have to say my favorite is the Quivit Angora yarn. If I had enough money I'd by multiple skeins of it.

Well lets see honestly I would LOVE to own the native Australian opal necklace, but if we are talking about things I could actually afford then I would have to say the Purple Blaze handspun is really pretty and my daughter pointed it out and said she thought it was pretty. : )

I went a little bit crazy in Stash Enhancement's shop, buying 3 skeins of the qiviut/angora seaweed yarn, some "pet" vicuna in a tin, plus some of her blends. Such fast and friendly service! And she's how I discovered Phat Fibers. :)
